Russian Doll Knit Kit

After seeing the Knit Kit I decided it would be useful to have a mini-kit to hold knitting essentials when I don’t feel like lugging around everything (i.e., case with every pair of needles I own, etc.). I happened across this cute manicure kit the other day and she was too cute to pass up:

She came with a pair of nail clippers, cuticle cutters, a nail file, and mini-scissors.

I kept the cuticle cutters (which will cut yarn) and the mini scissors, and then added stitch markers and a darning needle:

I put the stitch markers on a carabineer that came with my water bottle. Now I only need a way to store a smaller needle for Russian joining. I was hoping my chiba needle holder would fit, but it is too fat. Any ideas? I was thinking one of those vials they use to pass out perfume samples would be good, but couldn’t find one in my makeup drawer.
